NEW JERSEY—-(77WABC)
New Jersey saw no in-hospital COVID-19 deaths on Thursday for the first time in nearly a year, according to Gov. Phil Murphy.
The governor tweeted that the last time the Garden State saw a day with no hospital fatalities from the virus was July 30, 2020.
Murphy attributed the pandemic milestone to the popularity of the COVID vaccine.
For the first time since July 30, 2020 there were ZERO reported in-hospital COVID deaths in New Jersey yesterday.
There’s only one way to make sure we have more days like yesterday: Get vaccinated.— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) June 25, 2021
